Air ball joke.

Three-step layup is a legal basketball technical action made within the scope permitted by basketball rules. The so-called three steps are the last three steps before basketball is shot. The first step is the step before holding the ball, the second step is the first step after holding the ball and the third step is the layup after the second step. This is called the standard three-step layup. [ 1]

This picture can clearly explain the "three-step layup". The only drawback is that James holds the ball a little early, so he is suspected of walking the ball.

Layup or shooting layup is generally called three-step layup or three-step cross-basket, which is a basic shooting technique. Taiwan Province Province is also called civilian shooting, because it is the most basic shooting technique. If you don't defend and can't make a layup, you will be laughed at by your peers.

According to the relative height of hands and shoulders when shooting, layups are divided into high-hand layups and low-hand layups.

According to hand movements, layups are divided into one hand and two hands, forehand, backhand, hook, pick, push, hook, throw and buckle, and also include two body postures: marching and jumping.

The essentials of three-step layup can be summarized in six words: "one big jump, two small jumps", which is concise and easy to remember. Take the right-handed one-handed shooter as an example, take a big step with his right foot and catch the ball at the same time (that is, a big one); Then take a small step with your left foot and take off hard (that is, the second hour); Then lift your right leg on your knee and lift the ball to the right of your head. After flying, when the body is close to the highest point, the right arm stretches forward and upward, the wrist bends forward, and the middle finger pulls the ball hard and throws it from the fingers (that is, three jumps). At the same time, both feet land at the same time, and the "three-step layup" action is completed.

Put the essentials of the "three-step layup" into a formula, that is, "one big jump, two small jumps, three heights, remember to lift your elbow and bend your wrist, use your body volley ball, and hit the board accurately and wonderfully", which can be written down by all beginners, which is helpful to master the technical essentials.

Three - step layup

Three - step layup

There is such a stipulation in the basketball rules: "For players who control the ball and have established a center foot on the court, when moving, passing or shooting, players can jump up the center foot and land on one foot or both feet at the same time. However, after one or both feet are lifted, both feet must not fall back to the ground before the ball is shot. "

Different situation

There are two situations in the above rules, and the three-step layup belongs to the situation that "players can jump up the center foot and land on one foot" in the rules, because the second step of the three-step layup is landing on one foot, not another situation mentioned in the rules-landing on both feet at the same time. In other words, the three-step layup rule is "passing or shooting, the player can jump up the center foot and land on one foot." However, after one foot is lifted, neither foot can fall back to the ground before the ball is shot. "

According to this rule, a player can only touch the ground twice with his "center foot" and "foot" from the beginning of determining the center until the ball is released, and the "center foot" and "foot" can take off during the three-step layup.

Special instructions

edit

Step refers to the distance between two feet when walking or running. That is to say, 1 landing with one foot cannot be counted as one step, and landing with one foot four times is only three steps.

Specific steps

edit

first step

Jump up after dribbling (feet off the ground), catch the ball and land on one foot. At this time, the landing foot is the central foot.

Or: take off with both feet (off the ground) and catch the pass and land with one foot, where the landing foot is the center foot.

In these two cases, one is a three-step layup after dribbling, and the other is a three-step layup after catching the ball.

Second step

After the central foot jumps, the non-central foot (the "one foot" in the rules) touches the ground.

Third step

After the off-center foot ("one foot" in the rules) takes off, the ball hits the hand and falls back to the ground.

Note: I don't mean the left foot or the right foot is the center foot here. In practice, your left foot can be the center foot and your right foot can also be the center foot. After determining the central foot, the other foot is a non-central foot.

practise

It is the key to practice the three-step layup and adjust the rhythm. Three steps, as the name implies, is to complete the shooting target within three steps. Therefore, to adjust the size of the stride, you can't make a layup while walking, but finish it while running. Jogging is best for beginners. Practice slow motion first. When I was preparing for the three-step layup, I silently recited one step and two steps, and I have already jumped to the third step. The stride size should be the same as the usual running size, which is more natural. When you start the three-step layup away from the basket, take a bigger step, otherwise you will find that the third step is far away from the basket and it is not easy to throw the ball. On the contrary, it is very close to the basket, so we should adjust our pace, otherwise the third jump is likely to run behind the backboard.

It is also important to find the right time to make a layup. It is simple to practice three-step layup, but basketball is a competitive sport after all, and it often needs a team of three or five people to play the game. The competition on the field is fierce. If you want to make an easy three-step layup, you must find the right time. When the opponent's defense is lax, we should look at the empty space, start quickly and score in the basket like lightning. If the opponent's defense is very strict, don't rush in, because it is easy to hit the opponent when running under the basket, and the referee is likely to sentence you to hit someone with the ball. Of course, there is also the possibility that the other side will stop the foul. In short, try to seize the opportunity before layup, avoid unnecessary troubles and improve the success rate. Practicing more skills such as passing in disguise and breaking through is very helpful to realize the three-step layup.

Pay attention to the correct posture in the three-step layup. Before layup, you should lower your center of gravity, dribble less than your waist, keep your body stable and keep your upper body straight. When running, lean forward as far as possible, slap the basketball with your palms down, and don't flip your wrists. When taking off in the third step, the wrist naturally throws the ball out and tries to be as soft as possible, so that the basketball has room for maneuver. This way, the shooting percentage is higher.

Watch the basket. The last and most crucial step of the three-step layup is to score. At this point, we should look at the position of the basket, focusing on the small square area above the basket. This square area is an ideal landing point for basketball. If you throw the ball into the penalty area, the chances of scoring are very high. Especially in the upper right corner and the upper left corner of this square area, the basketball is basically accurate, and the probability of rebounding into the basket is 100% (provided that the force is uniform).

Hold the camera well. Many beginners often miss the last shot, or use too much force, and the ball flies away after hitting the board, or the strength is insufficient. After throwing the ball, they just wipe the net or even the air ball. The basis of three-step layup is to practice the basic skills of shooting, especially shooting under the basket. When pitching, use your hands evenly, gently and flexibly. The third step, when jumping up and shooting, as long as you flick it gently, the ball can naturally hit the board and enter the basket or hollow into the net. When someone is defending, don't be afraid and anxious, keep your mind steady, don't tremble, and easily throw the ball into the basket. [2]

Matters needing attention

edit

Three-step layup, the first two feet touch the ground, and the third step must be to jump in mid-air. One more step will be regarded as a violation of walking rules. When running the basket as shown below, you can only leave two footprints in the ground, and the third step has already jumped up and shot.

Watch someone standing in front of you motionless, don't try to make a layup in the past three steps. Knocking down your opponent will sentence you to hit someone with the ball.

You can shoot with a hook when you make a layup, which is a good way to prevent being blocked. [2]

Matters needing attention

edit

Grasp the timing of holding the ball. Once you get the ball too early, it's easy to move, not too late. As shown below, the normal three-step layup, with both feet off the ground and the foot landing at point B is the middle foot. Holding the ball too early, the foot at point A is the middle foot, which causes the middle foot to move forward. If it is still two steps at this time, the ball landing (the third step) is walking.

Connection movement

edit

Some people say that "three consecutive layups are good shots, and the slow ones are walks", which is wrong. You can search every corner of the basketball rules, and you didn't say that "continuous action" is against the rules of catching the ball or hitting the ball well. As long as a player's foot or both feet don't illegally move in any direction outside the restrictions stipulated by basketball rules, it is a good ball and there is no continuous action.

Under normal circumstances, three consecutive layups are extremely fast, so it is difficult for the referee to quickly judge the timing of the player holding the ball, so it is difficult to accurately judge the player's center foot, so it is difficult to make an accurate penalty. Slow three-step layup is slow, and the referee can judge the athlete's central foot and foot movements at a glance, thus making an accurate penalty, so slow three-step layup is more likely to be punished by the referee.

Usually, when you watch the ball game, many of you think it is a good three-step layup, but when you look back in slow motion, you find it is a walking ball. Even CCTV's "Olympic ABC Detailed Explanation of" Three-step layup in basketball match "explains the video of three-step layup in slow motion, which is illegal, so it is very common for three-step layup to be illegal, but it is difficult to judge that the referee who takes the ball illegally generally does not blow, which does not mean that the ball is a good one.

Walking situation

edit

1, dribbling breakthrough faced with strict defense, because of fear of grabbing the ball, dribbling vigorously and receiving the ball quickly, the supporting foot had already held the ball before leaving the ground, holding the ball too early, and the central foot moved forward.

2. When breaking through the dribble, facing the high-intensity defense, the athletes did not take effective take-off. When taking off, the supporting foot ball dribbles before leaving the ground, and the center foot moves forward too early.

3. There is no effective take-off with both feet when receiving the pass from teammates. When one foot is on the ground or one foot has fallen back to the ground after jumping, the center foot moves forward.

In these three cases, the foot was originally the central foot at point B, but it became the central foot at point A (please refer to the above picture for the cases of feet at points A and B). Only two feet (middle foot and non-middle foot) are allowed to land in the three-step layup, but when the middle foot moves forward, three feet (middle foot, non-middle foot and middle foot) land, so after the middle foot moves forward, the player lands in two steps (step 3), which is a walking ball.

Layup practice

edit

One or three-step layup is the most basic and simple shooting technique. Let's take the right hand three-step layup as an example to illustrate how to practice:

Start from the right side of the front about 3 or 4 meters away from the basket, dribble the ball forward with your right hand, face the basket with one hand, and finally step out with your left foot (and prepare to take off). After the last step, hold the ball with both hands (left hand in front of the ball, right hand behind the ball, close to the bottom of the ball), jump with your left foot, keep your eyes close to the basket, face the direction you want to send the ball, leave the ball with your left hand and fully extend the ball with your right hand.

As long as the left hand dribbles, the right foot takes off and the left hand "picks the basket". At the beginning of practice, use your accustomed hand (strong hand) to make a layup, and then practice the layup with your other hand after you are proficient in the action. If you find it difficult to master the jumping point or adjust the last step during dribbling, you can practice the previous step first, jump and shoot, and then start with dribbling after you are proficient.

Second, the practice essentials

Now the popular penalty standard in NBA is no longer "how many steps have been taken", but whether the layup with the ball is consistent. For example, according to FIBA rules, you can't move your feet after jumping, but many NBA players have to take another step after jumping, or even turn around and shoot in the air. This is to borrow street basketball to make the game more exciting. Yao Ming is always blown away, and his movements are incoherent.

Three-step layup demonstration, click to watch the animation.

According to the relative height of hands and shoulders when shooting, layups are divided into high-hand layups and low-hand layups; The layup includes two hand movements, one hand and two hands, and also includes two body postures: marching and jumping. Hand movements are different from forehand, backhand and hook.

A master layup means that the wrist is higher than the shoulder at the moment when the ball is shot; Low-handed layup refers to the moment when the ball is released, and the wrist is lower than the shoulder.

Layup is generally called three-step layup or three-step cross-basket, which is a basic shooting technique. Its last shot can be a master layup or even a dunk, which is usually used by players with good jumping ability or big players. Small players use low-handed layups to increase concealment under the defense of their opponents' height.

Although it is called a three-step layup, it is actually only two and a half steps to start dribbling after the second jump, and the center foot must not be raised before the ball is shot.

When passing or shooting, the player can jump up the middle foot, but neither foot can fall back to the ground before the ball is thrown.

In actual combat, assuming that the left foot is the central foot, we can choose

1, just lift your right foot and put it down. The state has not changed.

2. Jump with both feet at the same time. "No foot can fall back to the ground until the ball is released."

3. Side jump with translation. For example, I jump to the right to dodge-my left foot leaves the ground first, my right foot leaves the ground later, and then I throw the ball before either foot hits the ground. You can also jump forward or right with your right foot. In actual combat, because of impatience, players "jump" instead of taking a step, which is often called a foul.

In actual combat, we have no choice.

1, only lift your left foot, put it down and throw the ball (pass or shoot), and don't lift your right foot during the whole process.

This action is illegal to take the ball away, which is easy to appear on the street court and professional basketball will not appear. Because the left foot is the center foot at this time, the latest version of the rules stipulates that you can't lift the center foot in basketball, but you can jump up the center foot and pass the ball. Lifting means that one foot leaves the ground and the other foot does not leave the ground, while jumping means that both feet leave the ground explosively at the same time. This is where people are easily confused. The concepts of lifting and jumping are very different.

How to jump high

edit

One big jump and two small jumps.

If you have received formal training, you should all know the formula of "one big, two small, three high jumps". In other words, the first step of the three-step layup is bigger. The big step is mainly to distance the defender from the player. When everyone jumps at the same time, if the first step is big, the defender must jump higher and farther than you if he wants to cover you from behind. The second smallest, that is to say, the second step is small. Why should the span be small? This is mainly to prepare for the "three highs". Anyone who has practiced triple jump knows that the second step is small and the third step can fly far. In fact, this is a process of accumulating strength. If you want to punch forcefully, of course, you must withdraw your fist first. Three-high jump, does that mean the third step is high jump? Actually, it's not. Jumping high in the third step is only one aspect, and you have to jump far. Jumping high is also related to your hitting point. If the shooting point is high, it will be difficult for the opponent to stop (related to hand movements, which will be explained below). The long jump is to further widen the physical distance between the defender and the player.

Then talk about hand movements. Hand movements are divided into two hands and one hand, pick, push, hook, throw, buckle and the height of the hand point. One hand and two hands are easy to understand, and the pushing and buckling action is simple, so I won't say much here. Pay attention to the high jump and the master when lifting a little dunk. Simply put, you can't aim at the basket all the time when dunking. Only by looking higher can you jump higher. The hook and pick movements are flexible and changeable. Basketball is a round sphere. It is necessary to learn to spin basketball from different angles with hook and pick, and to master the angle and intensity of scrubbing the board and basket, which can improve the success rate of scoring. The most important thing is to pay more attention to the practice of the ball, imagine all kinds of hook-picking movements, feel the power with your heart, and try to practice "hitting where you want to hit" when the ball is in your hand. The height of the shooting point, from the point of view of action, is of course the higher the better. In the game, when the defensive player is shorter than you and the bounce is not as good as you, you can only show a player's domineering by jumping high and shooting high. However, when the defensive player's situation is just the opposite or the action is deformed, he must learn to shoot early in the low position. The shooting point is low, which usually happens when the action is deformed and is easy to be blocked. It's luck if you don't score. Most people take a three-step layup and jump to the highest point before shooting. In the process of three-step layup (for example, the first two steps, or the take-off has not reached the highest point), using reverse thinking to throw the ball out will often achieve unexpected results, which is to shoot early. Although the action is not domineering, it is illusory and strange, and the defender can't prevent it. If the movements are coherent, there is no lack of relaxed and elegant feeling.

Three-step layup, the second step can jump! ! !

The 2006 Rules adopted by FIBA on March 3, 20061day, the second black point 25.2.2 is amended as follows

Three-step layup rule

When moving the ball or shooting, the player can jump up with his center foot and then land on one foot or both feet at the same time. Then, one or both feet can be lifted off the ground, but one foot can't fall back to the ground until the ball is released.

My understanding is that moving means that one foot is on the ground, which is different from the situation where both feet are on the ground. When you catch the ball before passing or shooting, one foot touches the ground, and the contact foot is the center foot. You can jump up with one foot or land with both feet at the same time. Then, one or both feet can be lifted off the ground, but one foot can't fall back to the ground until the ball is released.

Let's start with a three-step layup. Can you jump to the second step?

Three-step layup The first step is to receive the ball and touch the ground with one foot (middle foot).

By default, the second step is to step, and the third step is to jump, that is, the non-central foot touches the ground before the central foot is lifted (there are cases where both feet touch the ground at the same time). At this time, don't lift the center foot when passing and shooting, but pay attention to the fact that the center foot can jump, that is, shooting or passing with both feet (of course, don't lift the center foot when shooting or passing). This action is not to say that you can't, but that the center foot is easy to do because of inertia. So this action is easily violated by the blown ball. The NBA and FIBA are quite strict about this action. Even the big-name stars were not spared. Cameron Anthony was once blocked by the defender after taking three steps in the fast break, and then raised his central foot to shoot and was blown away by the ball. The requirement of three-step layup is actually that the second step is to jump. What is jumping? Jumping is when your feet leave the ground. For example, when running, your feet must be in the air at the same time (for a short time). In fact, the three-step layup is actually the landing after the central foot jumps, which is the rule: when you move, a player can jump up the central foot and land on one foot or both feet at the same time. However, after one or both feet are lifted, neither foot can fall back to the ground until the ball is released.

Now the second step is to jump, and the third step is to jump, that is, the non-central foot touches the ground. After the central foot takes off, it adapts to the rules, one foot touches the ground, and the central foot can jump when passing or shooting ... It should be a good shot. Moreover, some people think that this is a violation of walking (misquoting the rule that both feet land and the central foot must be hit to land again).
